About this course
Africa accounts for only 4% of global carbon emissions but is one of the most climate-vulnerable continents. Paradoxically, this creates a massive opportunity: African renewable energy, forestry, and agriculture projects can generate high-quality carbon credits sold to global corporations. This advanced course teaches you how to develop a carbon credit project from inception — including methodology selection, baseline setting, MRV (Monitoring, Reporting & Verification), and listing on registries like Gold Standard and Verra VCS.
